The 2001 World Weightlifting Championships marked the end of the career for one of the sport’s exceptional talents, Marc Huster, the man known for his epic battles with Pyrros Dimas, a really potent clean and jerk, and celebrations that caused yours truly to dub him “Flying Huster.”


Marc Huster celebrates his world record 213.5-kg clean and jerk in the 83-kg class at the 1996 Olympics.  When Randall Strossen once asked Marc Huster if he’d ever considered a career as a high jumper, the ebullient weightlifter said, “Maybe a kangaroo.”  IronMind® | Randall J. Strossen photo.
